Champagne

The Champagne terroir representing more than 30,500 hectares covers 5 departments (including 1 in Ile de France!) And is divided into 4 specific areas:

The Reims Mountain

Located the most north of Champagne, it has the distinction of being mainly exposed to the south. The vines are spread over hillsides characterized by their very buried limestone soil. As for the grape variety, it is the Pinot Noir which dominates. Perfectly adapted to the type of soil and the harshness of the climate, the result is wines renowned for their power, their structure and their nobility.

The Marne Valley

This terroir, which follows the course of the river of the same name, has soils with very different characteristics from each other. Although the soil in the west is mainly limestone, in the east, the hillsides are located on clay-limestone with a marly tendency. The dominant grape variety is pinot meunier, which when tasted offers suppleness and fruitiness to its wines.

Cote des Blancs

This terroir, which stretches for fifteen kilometers, has a soil dominated by chalk. Omnipresent, it is a real reservoir of water and heat in basements. It thus allows the vine to be hydrated gradually and throughout the year. In terms of grape variety, it is the Chardonnay that reigns supreme, representing more than 90% of the grape varieties. Very popular, the wines of the Cote des blancs are full of liveliness. Their aromas are light and delicate, fine and elegant.

The Aube vineyard, Bar-sur-Aube, Bar-sur-Seine: Located on a mainly limestone and marl soil, the Pinot Noir is dominant. It adapts very well to this more continental climate than the others. The Champagne of the Cote des Bar are wines of character, with beautiful roundness and complex aromas.
